At this time, everything is measured by media popularity. If you get the fans’ interest, you will surely have promoters who want to do your fights. You looked as good as you did in your last fight.
If you take this paragraph literally. We have to conclude that Shakur Stevenson should not have many job offers. If he wants to see some offers after Saturday night’s fight, he should steer clear of what we saw in the Stevenson – Edwin De Los Santos fight.
Eddie Hearn, Oscar De La Hoya, PBC, and many others will surely be waiting for the performance and outcome of the fight against Artem Harutyunyan. Shakur must not only be successful but also look great. Furthermore, he must persuade boxing fans that their fights are worth watching.
Fans pay TV subscriptions for entertainment, and promoters want to sign the most exciting fighters. That’s what this business is all about. Shakur Stevenson appears to have forgotten all this during his last fight, and now he has little to gain and much to lose.
According to Stevenson, he has everything he needs to become a free agent. He seems to think he doesn’t need a promoter company like he has until now. Besides, he blames Bob Arum for the mess in his career. If you’re seeking an offer that hides your poor performance, this attitude may not be right.
I don’t want to imagine the media consequences if Stevenson fails the boxing fans again. If he loses or gives us another poor performance, he’ll have to decide to stop boxing and allow others to do what he didn’t want to do.
Shakur does not seem to understand that professional boxing is plagued by brutal beatings and blood. If the worst happens, it is clear that those who control boxing and the big TV companies who broadcast those events would not want Stevenson around them.
